Conversation of the Day...
Me: (randomly bumping into a friend at J. Crew) "Hmmm... I never remember the European size chart... what's a 32?"
Sharay: "Umm... I'm not sure."
Overly Eager Sales Clerk: " Did I hear a sizing question?"
Me: "Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out what size I am."
Overly Eager Sales Clerk: "Let's see... a 25 is a zero... wait, or is it a double zero... ummm, ok... a 25 is a..."
Me: (annoyed and impatient) "Obviously... no need to waste your time. Just skip ahead to the '30's'..."
Sharay: (bursting into laughter... either at me or the seemingly 'taken aback' Sales Clerk) "This is a good one for your blog."
Me: (turning to the Sales Clerk) "Yes... I have a blog. (I say as if I'm some sort of celebrity.)
Overly Eager Sales Clerk: (unimpressed and bewildered) "I'm sorry if a 25 is 0... then..."
Me: "It's o.k., at least these are a size smaller than the ones I'm wearing."
Sharay: (cheering me on) "Yes! Good job!"
Me: (Glancing over at an eavesdropping sales woman) "... and if you can't find me a size 8, navy blue chino in the next two minutes, I'm gonna give you my 'Size Discrimination' speech."
...AND SCENE.
